How to Make Turnip Patties

1

Fold paper towel and place in a microwaveable dish. Stand turnip on its end on top of paper towel.

2

Put in microwave and cook on high power for 10 minutes. When done turn turnip onto it's other end and again cook for 10 minutes.

3

While turnip is cooking dice a yellow onion and cut up some cooked bacon.

4

Once turnip has been cooked on both ends remove from microwave and allow it to stand for 5 minutes.

5

Cut one end off of the turnip and use two forks to peel the skin down off the turnip.

6

Turn over and cut the other end off and finish peeling.

7

Place peeled turnip into a mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher.

8

Mix in eggs, gluten free flour and brown sugar really well.

9

Stir in the diced onion, chopped bacon and some pecans.

10

Put some olive oil into a large skillet and turn the heat to medium.

11

Once oil is hot use a scoop (mine was 3 tablespoons) to drop mounds of turnip into the skillet.

12

Flatten the mounds with a spatula to make patties.

13

Fry until golden brown on one side and flip to brown the other side. About 3 - 4 minutes per side.

14

Transfer cooked patties to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

15

Once all patties are cooked serve them up as a side to your favourite meal.

16

Drizzle with maple syrup for some added flavour.

Enjoy!
